 Shopper Marketing Building Brands in the Retail World 
 
People are increasingly making their purchase decisions at the store. Worldwide studies by
leading FMCG companies put this figure as high as 70%. In addition, the store is the second
largest source of awareness, after Television, for information on brands and products.
Not surprising then, that the store is the new ‘moment of truth’ for brand marketers seeking
to go beyond share-of-mind, to capture share-of-wallet.
 
Shoppers behave differently from consumers. With consumers the focus of the brand is on
consumption and entering their minds. With shoppers, the focus is on purchase and entering
their baskets.
 
Brands will now dare to ignore the store and the shopper at their own peril.
 
Shopper Marketing: Converting Shoppers into Buyers
 
Shopper Marketing is the recent marketing discipline that aims at converting shoppers into
buyers, through in-store brand solutions, for the benefit of both brand marketer and retailer.
It leverages the store as a marketing medium for the brand and creates joint marketing
platforms and programs with key retailers.
 
Shopper Marketing, simply put, is about understanding and influencing shoppers to turn them
into buyers.
 
Like most marketing concepts, Shopper Marketing has its origins in the western world, driven
by the likes of P&G, Unilever and Coca Cola and emerging out of a need to influence shoppers in some of their largest ‘markets’- Walmart,  Carrefour, Tesco, etc.
 
Management Development Program
 
With the growing impact of Modern Retail/Trade, Shopper Marketing is assuming increasing
importance in the Indian marketing landscape, with companies now focusing on integrating
Shopper Marketing into their plans and allocating significant resources to it.
 
Acquiring the required knowledge & skills in Shopper Marketing is a must-do for every
new-age marketing and retailing professional.

 PROGRAM SCOPE 
 
Provide an understanding of the fundamentals of Shopper Marketing with real world examples and cases from International and Indian markets. Familiarize participants with basic frameworks and tools to help them apply the learning to their brands and companies.
 
Understanding Shoppers: Learning How Shoppers Shop
 
Fundamental to Shopper Marketing is the understanding of shopper behavior and insights.
Unlocking shopper insights requires new techniques, as against conventional market research. Shopping is a social human activity and studying shoppers is based on the principles of Anthropology.
 
If consumers are profiled on demographics, psychographics, attitudes and lifestyles, shoppers are profiled based on ‘Need-States’. Need-States begin with the raison-de-etre or mission for the particular shopping trip. One takes into account the shopper’s motivations and drivers-what shopping means to her. Also in the cauldron are aspects such as, the length of the shopping trip, how the shopper navigates through the store, who she shops with, what is the size of her shopping basket, and so on.
 
Influencing Shoppers: Seeing the Store through the Eyes of the Shopper
 
Having understood your shopper, you now need to apply the learning to present your
brand/category in the most inspiring and compelling manner to influence her to buy.
Your brand in-store, must have a powerful idea and story to ‘make her an offer she
can’t refuse’.
 
The brand must be imaginative enough to see the store through the eyes of the shopper
and not just as a piece of real estate with shelves and aisles. The trick is to unsuspectingly lead the shopper to the real target- your brand. How are you going to ‘Attract-Arrest-Acquire’
her from the point she enters the store, to when she is moving around and checking stuff out,
till she actually picks up and puts the product in her basket. What are all the ‘Connection
opportunities and shopper zones’  in and around the store that you can innovatively use to
engage your shoppers.
